OWNER’S MANUAL
For information on assembling the keyboard stand, refer to the instructions at the end of this manual.
IMPORTANT —Check your power supply—
Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voltage specified on the name plate on the bottom panel. In some areas
a voltage selector may be provided on the bottom panel of the main keyboard unit near the power cord. Make sure that the
voltage selector is set for the voltage in your area. The voltage selector is set at 240V when the unit is initially shipped. To change
the setting use a "minus" screwdriver to rotate the selector dial so that the correct voltage appears next to the pointer on the panel.

PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical
shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required
voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have
accumulated on it.
Use only the supplied power cord/plug.
Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and
do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on
it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything
over it.
Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or
modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it
should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet
conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into
any openings.
Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.
A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden
loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke
should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch,
disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected
by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage
to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold
the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.
Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used
for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.
Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector.
Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the
outlet.
Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly process.
Failure to assemble the instrument in the proper sequence might result in
damage to the instrument or even injury.
Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or
heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to
prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal
components.
Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment,
mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio
may generate noise.
Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally
fall over.
Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.
When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is
easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off
the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power
switch is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum
level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug
the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the
power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all
components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes
of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume
controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.
(CVP-309 including grand piano type) Gently remove dust and dirt with a soft
cloth. Do not wipe too hard since small particles of dirt can scratch the
instrument's finish.
When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use
paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping
cloths.
•Take care that the key cover does not pinch your fingers, and do not insert a
finger or hand in any gaps on the key cover or instrument.
Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the key
cover, panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and
unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected
by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might
discolor the panel or keyboard.
(CVP-309 including grand piano type) Bumping the surface of the instrument
with metal, porcelain, or other hard objects can cause the finish to crack or peel.
Use caution.
Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not
use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or
uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you
experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.
Do not place the bench in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall
over.
Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or step-
ladder or for any other purpose might result in accident or injury.
Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to prevent the
possibility of accident or injury.
(CVP-309 including grand piano type) Do not attempt to adjust the bench height
while sitting on the bench, since this can cause excessive force to be imposed
on the adjustment mechanism, possibly resulting in damage to the mechanism
or even injury.
If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten them
periodically using the included tool.

The data of the types listed below are lost when you turn off the power to the
instrument. Save the data to the USER tab display (page 26), floppy disk,

Introduction
Welcome to the Wonderful Musical World of the Clavinova CVP!
Authentic Acoustic Piano-like Touch
Natural Wood Keyboard (CVP-309 including grand piano type)
The special Natural Wood keyboard of the CVP-309 uses real-wood white keys, to
reproduce as closely as possible the experience of playing an actual acoustic grand
piano. The authentic touch and feel of the keys goes far beyond existing electronic
keyboards, realistically recreating the hardness of the keys, the balance between the
weight of the key and hammer, and the characteristic weight gradations of the keys –
heavy in the low end, light in the high register – to make you feel as if you’re playing a
real grand piano. Moreover, this specially crafted keyboard lets you use techniques
only possible on grand pianos, such as playing the same note successively and having
the sounds blend smoothly even without use of the damper pedal, or playing the same
key quickly and having perfect articulation without the sound cutting off unnaturally.
GH3 Keyboard (CVP-307)
This feature provides authentic, realistic keyboard response – much like the playing
feel of a grand piano – with the lower keys being heavy in touch, the higher keys light,
and all the natural gradations in between. Moreover, this specially crafted keyboard
lets you use techniques only possible on grand pianos, such as playing the same note
successively and having the sounds blend smoothly even without use of the damper
pedal, or playing the same key quickly and having perfect articulation without the
sound cutting off unnaturally.
Turn on the iAFC (Instrumental Active Field Control) effect, and hear the sound expand
around you, as if you’re playing on stage in a concert hall. The overall sound is deeper
and more resonant, especially when using the damper pedal, recreating and empha-
sizing the natural sounds of true acoustic instruments.

Guide Lamps...............................................................................page 38
The key guide lamps are also helpful in learning and practicing, since they
indicate the notes you should play, when you should play them, and how long
you should hold them down.
Recording Your Performances .................................................. page 41
The Clavinova lets you easily record your own performances and save them
to internal memory or a SmartMedia card. This, too, is an excellent practice
tool, letting you listen back to your playing and spot your strong and weak
points.

Internet Direct Connection......................................................page 170
The Clavinova also connects directly to the Internet, letting you download Song data
from special websites, and save them to internal memory or a SmartMedia card.

If you select a picture file on the CARD/USB drive, the selected background
will not be displayed when the power is turned on again unless the same
media containing the data has been inserted into the drive.
